Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 7:27 pm Post subject: Let's All Write A Story Together ~ PART TWO
Harry and Victoria exited the Chapel with the tiny Zack in Victoria's arms as they went to join everyone else outside. Once they met up with everyone they invited everyone to come back to Godric's Hollow for a little party later this afternoon.
The sky had turned a glowing orange as the bright sun was setting along the rooftops and over the trees. Harry, Victoria, and Zack had arrived in Godric's Hollow with the aid of a boot, or portkey. They came inside their house and Victoria went upstairs to put Zack to sleep, after she sang him a lullaby she came back down into the kitchen and began cooking for the party. Harry had gone upstairs into their bedroom when he found something that belonged to Lockyfan, obviously she had forgotten it when she left them. He held in his hand a small silver locket with the letters "FF" on the frontside. Harry tried to get the locket opened then he remembered something, "What am I doing? I know how to open this!". He retreived his wand from his bedside table then pointed it to the locket and said, "Alohamora!" at that the locket sent a shock through his hand and up his arm as it jumped out of his hand and landed on the floor. He thought, "Lockyfan must've put some kind of charm on it so that no one else can open it!" as he massaged his arm. Harry picked it up once more and placed it atop the dresser then headed back down to check on Victoria, he would tell her about Lockyfan's locket after the party.
The guests started to arrive finally, some together, and some alone but nonetheless the house was beginning to fill up with all of Lockyfan's relatives. "Harry, does it seem to be getting just a little bit crowded in here?" Victoria asked to Harry.
"I have an idea." He replied and went out the back door where he conjured up a small stage complete with microphone. Harry picked up his microphone and said, "May everyone come outside for a moment?" as he said this everyone began filling up the backyard. He continued, "I hope you are going to enjoy this, even if you don't, I think this will touch everyone in some way. Just listen to the words please, even if I don't sound like a professional, it's just karaoke anyway." then the music began to softly play into everyone's ears and Victoria placed a charm so that the neighbors couldn't hear. When the music picked up Harry's voice sang into everyone's ears.
"From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you?d be mine
But here we are, we?re here tonight
Singing Amen, I?m alive
Singing Amen, I?m alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We?d see the day when nobody died
And I?m singing
Amen I, I?m alive
Amen I, I?m alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We?ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen I?m alive
Singing Amen I?m alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We?d see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We?d see the day when nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We?d see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
We?d see the day, we?d see the day
When nobody died
We?d see the day, we?d see the day
When nobody died
We?d see the day when nobody died"
Once Harry's song finished the backyard erupted in cheers and clapping. Harry held the mic and said, "Thank you." then went over to Victoria and gave her a short but very sweet kiss.
"That was amazing, Harry!" she said smiling.
"What was, the song or the kiss?" asked Harry.
"The song was great, and the kiss was okay." she said with laughter, "I'm going to check on Zack, I'll be right back!"
"I'll be waiting right here then." stated Harry then kissed her before she went back in the house. Victoria opened the back door and smiled at Harry before she went inside, she ran up the stairs and came into her son's room. Where she saw an incredulous sight, the shimmering figure from her dreams many many nights ago was holding Zachary. She pulled her wand from the waist of her jeans and said, "PUT HIM DOWN!" and the shimmering figure turned it's glowing head toward her. His bright white eyes staring at her with her baby still in his arms then she recognized him, "Phill!".

Harry walked in amongst the Crowd talking to all Lockyfans relatives. After a while Harry walked over to get a drink, and saw something that made his blood run cold.
"Lockyfan?" Harry asked looking straight into the Hazel eyes and at the curly brown hair of a woman standing not too far from him. The woman smiled at HArry and said "Oh Hello, no I am Lockyfans cousin Hughiefan."
"Oh you look so much like her" Harry blurted
"Yeah I know, we used to do swaps and change classes in school and everything, well that was before I moved to Australia anyway" replied Hughiefan
"Oh ok. Um why did you move to....." Harry started but everyone stopped as they heard a scream from upstairs.
"No leave him alone Phil"
Upstairs Victoria had her wand raised and pointing it at the shimmering figure of Phill who still had hold of her son. She wanted to hit him with every spell she knew, but she didn't know of any spells that would be any use against a ghost plus she didn't want to harm her son in anyway. As she thought of the right spell she maintained her look of determination as Phill looked more menacing with every second. Finally he spoke in a voice that didn't seem to belong to him, "I WANT MY SON!". Victoria shoved her wand back into her pocket and charged Phill then grabbed Zachary as Phill vanished into thin air.
She kissed her son's forehead and kept muttering, "Thank God he didn't hurt you! Thank God he didn't hurt you!" as she was kissing Zack's head Harry barged into the room.
"Where is he?!" Harry shouted with his wand ready. Victoria looked up to Harry with a scared but thankful look and heavy tears in her eyes.
"It was Phill, but he's gone now! He's gone! He's gone!" she said over and over as she held her son close to her, "He wants Zack!" as she said this Hughiefan came into the room behind Harry, "Lockyfan? Is that you?".
"Actually this is Lockyfan's cousin, Hughiefan." Harry answered.
"Hi, it's nice to finally meet you both." said Hughiefan, "Lockyfan told me so much about you when she was staying with me in Australia."
Victoria smiled, "Did she now?".
"Yeah, she couldn't stop talking about you two!" replied Hughiefan, "Oh is that your baby?"
"Yeah, he is." said Victoria sounding more calm now, "This is Zack, my baby. Not Phill's, mine." and Harry came down to her side with a smile on his face.
"That's right Vic, if Phill wants this baby... He's going to have to deal with us first!" Harry assured her, "Hey Hughiefan, when do you have to be back in Australia?"
"I Dont" replied Hughiefan.
"You dont?" asked both Vic and Harry increduously
"Yeah thats right, I dont. I decided I would come here to live. Ive had enough of Australia!" she replied.
"Ok well great!" said Victoria, with a huge smile on her face. Harry smiled too, but had a feeling that there was something Hughiefan had neglected to mention.
"Well, have you got anywhere to stay? If you dont you can stay here with us!" asked Victoria.
"Oh yes I do actually, I have somewhere to stay, but thank you for the gesture" replied Hughiefan.
"Well we had better get back to our guests" said Harry as he stood up. "Victoria why dont you bring Zac down with you, so that we can keep an eye on him!"
"Ok" replied Victoria as she stood up.
After they returned to the party, The three went their separate ways and mingled in with the guests. Try as they might, Harry and vic could no find Hughiefan, until the very end of the party when all the relatives had gone.
"I think I might go now too" said Hughiefan, she handed them a note. "This is my address. If you need want to talk, I am fine with that. I have to go now though, so I will see you later" smiled Hughiefan.
"Bye" called Victoria as she headed for the stairs. "I think i might put Zac back to bed again."
"Bye" repleied hughiefan with a smile and a wave. "dont forget to drop around sometime"
"We wont dont worry about that" Replied Harry as he walked Hughiefan to the door.
Harry stood at the door and watched Hughiefan walk down the path. At the end of the street however, Hughiefan stopped and started talking to someone, a relative of Lockyfan's. The discussion got quite heated Harry Stood and watched for a while. He couldnt help but feel both attracted and scared by the mysterious relative of Lockyfan's. He smiled to himself as he watched the discussion and after a few minutes, walked back inside and closed the door. He then walked upstairs looking for Victoria
Hughie fan walked down the path to the street corner. Just as she was about to apparate though, she heard a familiar voice say, "so you came back? why would you even bother? huh? you evil bitch!"
"Because my cousin died uncle Michael." replied Hughiefan cooly, glancing up the street to see if Harry was still atching her. smiling to herslf as she say him still watching her.
"Really is that really why you came back? Or are you up to something. You know whenever your around someone ends up dying or being injured. Funny that hey?"
"Um you tend to forget one thing Uncle Michael, Lockyfan died in the fight with the Dark Lord remember? She saved that prescious Potters life by jumping in the way of the Avarda Kedavra spell, which I must add, I did not send at her. i mean surely you are not saying that I was in someway connected to this tragic event?" Asked Hughiefan coily.
"I wouldnt put anything past you," replied Michael
"Really!" Stated hughiefan taking another quick glance up the street to see if Harry had closed the door, she was relieved and disappointed that he had. Hughiefan then looked back at Michael and smiled, "well I have had about enough of this conversation Uncle Michael, I think I might just go," and at this statement Hughiefan turned on the spot and vanished.
Michael stood there for a few seconds on his own before Hughiefan returned. "Oh I forgot" she said innocently, then coldly and harshly said "Avarda Kedavra" and Michael dropped dead. Hughiefan then apparated back home
Harry made his way up the stairs slowly, taking in everything around him, on the walls where pictures hung with people in the frames smiling and laughing through the frame. He stood at the top of the stairs and then started to walk down the hall to Zack's room. Harry opened the door slightly and saw Victoria sitting in the rocker with Zack in her arms and singing him a lullaby. Everything for that moment seemed to be so perfect, he thought, "Why can't everything be more like this?" he smiled when Victoria looked up.
"I was just putting Zack to bed." said Victoria.
Harry stood there smiling and watching his wife then suggested, "Maybe he should sleep with us tonight, just incase something happens." and Victoria gave him a look that said, "That's a great idea". She rose from the rocker with Zachary in her arms and walked over toward Harry.
"Harry, you're so good to me and Zack." Victoria said to him with a kiss, then headed into their bedroom with the small bundle still in her arms. Harry came in the room a few minutes after her, she was already in her sleep clothes and laying in the bed. Then he saw Zachary right in the middle of the bed, he looked so small in the large bed. Harry seemed to wonder if he should talk to Victoria about Lockyfan's locket now, or wait until in the morning to tell her. Either way, he's going to have to tell her. Harry got ready for bed and joined Victoria and Zachary in the bed. He put his arm around both of them, knowing that it's his place to protect and love them both and he would do anything for them. They had all finally fell into a lazy sleep.
A few streets away from Godric's Hollow someone was not sleeping, infact this person was wide awake. He walked along the sidewalk in his black leather jacket and dark jeans. When he arrived at a street corner he pulled his comb from his pocket and started to comb his dark brown hair.
"Phill, you are a killer!" said the young man to himself as he hopped onto a black motorcycle and rode off down the street, but he wasn't headed for Godric's Hollow. Instead he drove to a house with boarded up windows, he checked the address he was given again to make sure he was at the right place. Once he was sure he got off his bike and walked up to the front door where someone had come out before he knocked almost as it he was being expected. It was an older woman with curly grey hair and light blue eyes and she spoke, "Hello Phill, like your new body?" and Phill smirked.
"Who are you?" he asked of her, "Why are you helping me?".
She replied, "My name is of no importance to you, and I am helping you just because I can now you do have anymore questions?".
"Know what? I don't have time for this, I've got things to do." said Phill and he started toward his bike again.
"Foolish boy! You have no idea what you could do with this new body, do you?" the woman spat. Phill turned around and faced her again, "Oh yeah, what then?" he smirked.
"With this body, you have the power to manipulate anyone you choose, anyone." said the old woman, "Do you understand?".
"Yeah, I do." he replied and turned back to get on his bike once more then headed down the street again with another smirk on his face.
This time Phill was headed for Godric's Hollow, but not for Zack, he had other plans. He pulled up outside and walked up the smooth path to the front door. Then Phill remembered something about an alarm but he knew he'd be able to get in, just like last time, undetected. Within seconds he was inside the house and walking up the stairs, but he wasn't headed for Zack's bedroom. He made his way for Harry and Victoria's room where he stood over Victoria as she laid there sleeping, completely unaware that he was there. Phill grinned evily and pulled out a ransom note from his pocket.
The sun slid through the window and over Harry's face, he opened his eyes as he woke but he didn't see his wife before him. He got up from where he lay and there was Zack sleeping soundly, but that's when he noticed the ransom note on Victoria's pillow. Harry read the note.
Dear Potter,
If you ever want to see your wife again meet me at Grimmauld Place by this time tomorrow. Now don't be late, you pathetic wanker!
Harry stared at the note for a few moments in total disbelief.
"Why the hell would anyone want to be at Grimmauld Place?" Asked Harry to himself. "Wait, howwould they know how to get into Grimmauld Place. There must be some mistake" Harry thought as he turned over the note. There was nothing on the back. Harry got straight out of bed
Hughiefan awoke next morning, to find a beautiful snowy owl, pecking at her. It had a note in its beak, with a very male-like handwriting on it. Hughiefan opened the letter at once which read
Can you please help me. Victoria has been taken hostage, I need someone to help me!
Rhank you
Harry.
Hughiefan thought to herself "I will help you alright".
She got dressed quickly and apparated to the same corner as she had disapparated from last night. Her Uncles Body was still lying on the ground as she walked past. As Hughiefan got closer to Harrys home, she started screaming. "There's a dead man down the lane" which woke all them uggles instantly, but before they could see who was screaming this, Hughiefan had entered godrics Hollow.
"What was the commotion outside" asked Harry
"Some muggle was running up the street screaming about a dead man on the corner." replied Hughiefan.
Harry looked at her intently trying to read her, but there was nothing but worry for Victoria comming off her.
"Loser, what a loser, I am so totally going to destroy you" thought Hughiefan, as Harry was trying to perform Legillimancy.
"Are you ok?" Asked Hughiefan
Harry looked at her and smiled weakly. He then asked "I need someone to look after the baby, while I go look for Victoria, do you think you can do that?"
"Yeah sure, if that what you want me to do, I mean I could maybe be of more use to you in other ways" replied Hughiefan
"No, Just look after Zac please" Harry said.
"Ok I will, you go do what you have to do and I will stay here with Zac. Not to worry, everything will be fine" she nodded and put her hand in Harrys, gently holding it.
Harry stood there for a few moments, taking in the warmth he was experiencing from Hughiefan's acceptance to help. "Thank you" he said and then left through the front door.
With the commotion outside Harry had to walk awhile in the opposite direction. Once all the muggles were safely out of sight he apparated to Grimmauld Place.
Once in Grimmauld Place however, Harrys eye met a sight of pure shock. Victoria was tied to a large wooden stake which was hammered into the ground. Victoria seemed to be under a sleeping spell. Harry ran towards Victoria and started to untie her.
"Hello Harry, nice to see you again" stated a voice from the grave.
Pausing in his attempt to untie Victoria, Harry turned around to see Phil. "What? I I I I thought you w w w were d d d dead" Harry stammered.
"Yes and I was too, but some lovely old bird decided to help me out in that department, she even gave me a new body too. See!" Phill said as he held out his arms spinning n the spot once, inching closer to Harry as he did so.
"Yeah it looks wonderful. Now what do you want with Victoria." Harry asked through gritted teeth, clutching at his wand which was in his pocket.
"Well I want her back, away from you, she's mine and always will be, and theres not a thing you can do to stop it!" Phill said threateningly. Then suddenly, Phill threw out his right fist ad knocked Harry over with one punch.
As Harry was falling he saw Victoria's ties unbind and Phil disapparate holding tightly to her. Leaving behind a note of where to go next. The Little Hangleton graveyard.
Harry sat on the ground for a while, just staring at the note left, right where Victoria had been tied just moments before.
"this is war" he said to himself. Then he apparated back home, to organise an Army.
Phill landed at the home of the old Lady, With Victoria still in his arms. He knocked on the door, and it opened.
"Can I stash this here while I make someones life a living hell?" asked Phill. The Old Lady looked at him and said in a voice as if it were coming from a thousand Miles away, "Yes you may leave the wife of The Dark Lord's murderer here. I am so Happy that we will be messing with Harry Potter. Its time for revenge."
Harry walked into Godrics Hollow, feel ing depressed and ready for war. As he entered his home Harry heard Hughiefan say "..... Harry Potter. Its time for revenge."
"Your not wrong," he replied "Im out for blood"
Hughiefan smiled to herself.
"Know what lady, I think I'll take her inside. Just show me to your extra bedroom." said Phill as he held Victoria limp in his arms while following the old woman through the eerie house. She led him to a nearly empty room with just a single bed in the corner of the dark room. He came into the room as the old woman went off in the other direction. Phill laid her down on the bed gently and brushed her hair away from her face then leaned to her ear and whispered, "Wake up." and she did.
"What? Where am I?" she asked as she studied the room. Then she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed she was laying on, and he was smiling. "What the hell are you up to this time Phill?" she asked as she reached for her wand but then realized it wasn't where it was supposed to be so she just glared at him.
"Vicky, sweetie, I only want to bring our little family together. What's so bad about that?" replied Phill in a kind voice, a voice that was a little bit too kind for him, "We have me, you, all we need now is to get our son, Zachary."
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!"
"Why not? He's just as much my son as he is your's, and I just don't think Harry is a very good father." Phill explained in his kind voice then he leaned to her ear and whispered, "If that no good, lousy, pathetic excuse for a husband comes to here to get you I want you to destroy him... destroy Harry Potter." as he said this Victoria went into a trance with a blank look on her face.
"I will destroy Harry Potter." Victoria said mindlessly as Phill smirked.
"Good little puppet," Phill told her as he got up from the bed and headed toward the door, "I knew I could count on you." he added as he shut the door behind him, leaving Victoria sitting on the bed in a trance. Once he was outside the room he began to hear a voice, his own voice.
"Stop this now, let her go!" it was his former self fighting for control, he acted as if he didn't hear him but he kept getting louder, "LET HER GO!".
Phill then started having a fit as his former self began to regain control over the body they both shared. As soon as Phill's old self had gained control he ran back into the room and said, "VICTORIA YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! IT'S A TRAP TO STEAL ZACHARY! YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE WHILE YOU CAN! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!". Then Phill had regained control and said with an evil smirk, "Victoria stay here, I'm telling you now that it's dangerous outside. I'm only doing this to protect you." and with that he left the room again.
Once he was outside he hopped onto his motorcycle and drove away from the old woman's house.
"I will have no use for Victoria once I have Zack!" Phill said menacingly.
Then his former self ordered, "DON'T YOU HURT HER!" and Phill just laughed as he continued on down the road.
Victoria stared around the room after Phill had left in search of a way out. She said to herself, "Phill is so pathetic, he has no clue!" and she jumped out of the bed. Victoria left the bedroom and as soon as she closed the door behind her the old woman appeared behind her, startling her. The old woman grinned innocently and asked, "Would like a cup of tea?".
"No, no thank you!" Victoria replied shakily, as she went to pull her wand out when she realized that she was wearing her sleep gown.
The old woman's light blue eyes then turned to bright red as she said, "GET BACK TO YOUR ROOM!".
Victoria ran for the exit but it was as if the house had suddenly formed itself into a living maze that changed as she tried to run away from the old woman. She had found a coat closet to hide in after a few minutes into the chase when the old lady had conjured up a butcher knife. The old lady threw open the closet door and saw that it was empty so she closed it and moved on to search the rest of the house. When the lady was gone Victoria climbed down from the top of the closet as she heard a second and more familiar voice, Phill, he had come back.
"Tell me where she is!" He demanded from the old woman.
"She left her room and she's hiding." said the old woman calmly.
"Why would you let her get away, I need her!" Phill said in a pathetic voice, "I have to have her, and you let her get away." and he started to cry. Victoria couldn't take anymore of this so she jumped out of the coat closet where she was right in front of Phill. He smiled at her then held her tight, "Why would you try to run away from me Vicky?".
"Because I don't want you around Zachary! I don't want you around Harry! I don't want you around me! I don't want you around MY family! Oh and I was never going to kill Harry like you ordered in the first place, because I love him!" Victoria ranted as he continued to hold her tightly.
Phill then kissed her and she fell limp in his arms, he had put her into another sleep.
"Looks I have to take you with me then!" Phill said to her as he threw her over his shoulder and hopped onto his motorcycle once more.
Once he arrived in the Little Hangleton Graveyard he laid her on the ground as he waited the arrival of Harry Potter. Within minutes his army of magical thugs and bandits showed up on motorcycles.
"Alright Phill, where is Potter, I'm ready to kick his-" said one of his thugs before he was interrupted by Phill.
"Luke, he isn't here yet, just wait. I'm sure he will be here soon with his precious wife in a dangerous sleep." Phill explained to the one called Luke.
"What do you mean dangerous sleep?" Luke asked.
"I mean, the longer she's asleep the more of her life gets drained from her body! I would say he has exactly, until sunset tomorrow." said Phill with an evil laugh.
Harry arrived within Half an hour of Phils arrival at the graveyard.
"I want my wife NOW!" ordered harry.
Phil stood with his hands behind his back and stated coily "Please, You should always use your manners Potter"
"I'll give you manners yelled Harry and he lunged at Phil. Phil steppe to the side and harry landed head first into the headstone. Stll conscious and slightly dazed he looked around, only to see a green light be shot straight at him. Harry moved quickly and the spell hit the tombstone and shattered it.
Harry jumped stright up and looked around. Phil was holding Victorias body in his arms and yelled to Harry "After that attack you wont EVER see the ones youl ove again"! And Phil diapparated.
Harry stood there for a few moments and then realised what Phil had meant. "Zack" he muttered and apparated straight to Godrics Hollow. Harry entered the house carefully. He looked around the bottom floor first before moving upstairs to the bedrooms. He looked into Zacks room first and that is where he found Hughiefan unconscious on the floor, Zacks body gone and a note left for him which read:
Hes with Mummy now
but not for long
he will be with only daddy soon
and mummy will be gopne
So listen now oh dear boy
for this will help you see
where to find the dearest
the ones close to your heart.
Under the school
In a chamber you know too well
a place where the a monster did dwell
Will be a key for you
to unlock your When your family is hidden
Harry stood and pondered thenote for a while and then realised: The chamber of Secrets, at Hogwarts. Hughiefan muttered a sound beside him. she then awoke with a start and began crying "I am so sorry Harry, this biker guy came up from behind and knocked me out. did they take him? Oh my God they took him. I am so sorry harry" she balled and leant into Harry's arms for comfort.
"Did you find Victoria?" she then asked pulling back and wiping her eyes.
"Yeah, but he took her again." Harry replied softly
"Whats that?" Asked a wide eyed Hughiefan
"A note to tell me where to find a key to where my family is" replied Harry showing her the key.
Hughiefan gave the note a read and said "wel wheres that? All I can guess is that it is at Hogwarts and is a place that holds a key to where your family is, where a Monster had been living once..... Oh my Gosh. Its the Chamber of Secrets isnt it? You have to enter the chamber of secrets again." Hughiefan said.
"Yes" Harry bluntly replied
Phill watched out a window to the grounds that were so far below then he heard someone stirring so he turned to look. It was only Zachary laying in his small crib that Phill had conjured up, he smiled. Next to Zack's crib is where Victoria lay on the lounge, still sleeping. Phill walked over and sat on the edge of the seat by Victoria then said softly, "What am I doing?" as if hoping she would answer him. He turned his head and looked right at Zachary, "Such a beautiful baby," he turned back to Victoria, "Why am I doing this?".
He leaned to Victoria's ear and whispered, "Wake up." and with that she opened her eyes again. Once her eyes adjusted she saw him come into focus and for that moment he seemed to be harmless as he smiled at her then he spoke, "I'm sorry Victoria, I'm sorry for what I did to you, Zachary, and Harry. I only wanted to spend some time with Zachary, that's when I realized that what I've been doing is wrong. I understand if you choose to hate me forever, but please forgive me and I'll let you and Zachary go. All I want is for you both to be happy, but I'm messing that up." and Victoria continued to stare at him, not knowing what to say.
Then she thought of an idea, "If you want me to forgive you, then you must take the Unbreakable Vow. Raise your right hand and repeat after me."
She waited for him to raise his hand and he did, "I promise not to harm Victoria Potter, Zachary Potter, and Harry Potter and most importantly, I will be a better person.".
Phill spoke the words clearly and as he did so Victoria smiled, once he was finished he leaned closer to Victoria and kissed her one last time only she didn't fall asleep this time.
Then he spoke, "Thank you, I will be returning you and Zachary to Harry once he arrives. I hope he is as understanding as you."
"Don't worry, he'll understand." Victoria assured him with a smile that made him smile too.
"Promise you'll take care of Zachary." said Phill watching Victoria then he glanced over to the crib.
Victoria smiled again, "Of course I'll take care of him, and I forgive you.".
"Well thats great that you have forgiven him" replied a voice from behind them. They both turned around to seeHarry standing with his arms crossed.
"Oh Harry" Victoria cried and ran to Harry throwing her arms around him. "I am so happy to see you!" she exclaimed and gave him a large kiss on the cheek.
"I am o happy to see you too, Victoria." Harry said coldly, "but forgiving him AFTER what he did to you, I dont know how you could!" he continued. "As a matter of fact, no matter what he says, I will never trust him again, not after he stole you and Zack." harry pulled away from Victoria and coldly pushed her away. "You two deserve each other."
Victoria stood, stock still looking at Harry, tears now starting to stream from her eyes "Harry, what are you saying?" she cried.
"I am saying, Victoria, If you cant work it out for yourself already, that I DONT EVER WANT TO SEE THE TWO OF YOU AGAIN!" Harry screamed and then disapparated from their sight.
'Oh My God," cried Victoria, "I cant believe it, he just. just. just. left! Oh NO!" and Victoria dissolved into tears.
Phil could feel his insides doing backflips, as he walked over to victoria and held her in his arms.
the Old woman, apparated downstairs, then she transformed into Hughiefan "Yes, it is going to work!"
Just then Harry knocked on the door, so Hughiefan tranfeormed back into the old woman and answered the door. He knocked her down and ran upstairs, to the door, where Victoria had her back facing him and Phil, had a self satisfied smile on his face. The two looked to Harry as though they wer happy together and Victoria was holding Phil lovingly while he was stroking her hair. Heartbroken Harry apparated home and started to pack Victoria and Zacks belongings
Harry threw the remainder of Victoria's clothes into a suitcase then he remembered something and he turned to look at the dresser. There, sitting on top of the dresser, was the silver locket that Harry had found on the day of the party. He went over to give another try at opening it, and held it in his hands for a moment as he thought about who the locket belonged too and how much it must've meant.
"Lockyfan, let's see what you have for us this time!" Harry said to himself as he once again tried to force the locket open, "What, is there a password or something?" he asked as he threw the locket into the suitcase as well.
Harry slammed the suitcase shut then apparated straight into the room where Phill and Victoria were still hugging with Zachary asleep in the corner.
When Victoria heard the sound of someone aparating behind her she immediately turned around, "HARRY!" and a huge smile appeared on her face then as she saw the look on Harry's face her smile turned around, "Oh boy, that can't be good.".
"I hope you two are happy together!" Harry said coldly.
"Harry wait, I know that what you saw earlier wasn't what you were expecting but you know that I love you and I'm always trying to please so many people, if not everyone, then it occurs to me only after I've done something that my actions push away the ones I really care about and the ones who really care about me.".
Phill interjected, "I really care about you.".
"SHUT UP PHILL!" shouted Victoria.
"Well I do!"
Victoria continued to Phill sarcastically, "You must really care then! To sneak around in the middle of the night then snatch up me and Zachary! Yeah Phill, you really do care!".
"Would you look at you two, quarreling like an old married couple!" said Harry, coming back into the conversation, "I told you Vic, he's nothing but trouble and if that's the way you want it then I don't want any part of it so I took the liberty of packing your stuff and bringing it to you, to save you the trouble of having to do it yourself!".
"Harry, first off, no 'I told you so's' alright?! I've had it with all this crap going on, I just want things to be normal for once! Phill you shouldn't even be here right now, you should be dead!" and at these words Phill stood there with his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide while filling with tears, "I'm sorry Phill, I do care about you but you shouldn't be here!".
Phill spoke in a hushed voice, "I came back for you, but you want me dead. I came back for you.".
"Phill don't do this now, there is already too much drama as it is!" Victoria said with a serious look on her face then she turned to Harry, "Please understand Harry, I never meant to do you any harm. A friend once told me that it's better to forgive and forget, even if you don't really forget it's still better to forgive." then she noticed a look of horror appearing on Harry's face so she turned around and saw that Phill had his wand pointed at his own head.
"If you think that I should be dead, then I guess I should be then," Phill spoke as he tried to fight away the tears that kept rolling down his cheeks, "Avada Keda--"
"EXPELLIARMUS!" shouted Victoria with her wand raised to Phill, "Cowards die many times before their death, but the Valiant taste death only once.".
Phill and Harry stared at her as if not knowing what to say then Harry interrupted the silence, "What was that about?".
"William Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'." Victoria said proudly, "Phill, don't you ever do that again, no matter what anyone tells you! I was stupid for saying that you shouldn't be here, it's just that I was there when you died so it's still a bit a shock to me that you're here. Another thing Phill, I did love you, but not like I love Harry. So please, don't ever kiss me again." and with that she took Zack in her arms and gathered up her suitcase then disapparated... somewhere.
Harry stood staring at Phil for a few moments with a stare of hatefulness. He then spoke harshly to Phill, "Well if you dont mind, I will go, I will send Victoria back to you,I want no part of her again!" Harry then Apparated back to Godrics Hollow.
Harry sat in front of the fireplace for a few hours with bottle of Firewhiskey and a glass. After a while he got up and sat at his drawing table and wrote a letter.
He then rolled up the paper, sealed the scroll and waited for his new owl, Sirius, named after his deceased Godfather. Once the owl returned Harry placed the scroll on his leg and sent him to Hughiefan.
Hughiefan heard a scraping sound on her bedroom window. She Opened her eyes and looked over, and there floated a gorgeous Barn Owl. She got up out of bed and opened the window the owl hopped in and help out it leg, to give her the letter.
She could hardly read the scrawl that was left, due to its untidiness. But she smiled to herself anyway. The letter said:
Dear Hughiefan
I wish to talk to you on your own tomorrow.
Could you please meet me at Godrics Hollow?
Thank you
Harry
Hughiefan grabbed another piece of parchment and wrote her reply.
"Harry
Sure I will come over tomorrow. I will be there at 9:00 am.
Hughiefan"
She then rolled the parchment and placed it on the owls leg. He then flew away.
Harry awoke early in the morning to the sun bearing down on him and a splitting headache. As he looked over Harry realised that he had collapsed in his owlery. Sirius, the owl, had a letter attached to his leg. Harry looked puzzled for a few moments nad then remembered that he had sent a letter to Hughiefan. He opened the letter and read it slowly. He smiled to himself, a feeling of warmth and relief, spread through him. He looked at his watch and nearly fainted. It was Ten to Nine.
Harry had a very quick shower, change of clothes and was brushing his teeth, when Hughiefan arrived at the front door.
Harry raced down stairs and opened the door.
"Hi How are you?" asked Hughiefan
"Great, um a bit sore actually" Harry replied and then added "Come in Sit down in the lounge, I will be with you in a minute."
Hughiefan walked into the lounge and sat down, Harry came ina few minutes later and got them both a drink. He sat on the lounge chair that Hughiefan was sitting on and handed her her drink. They both sat for a few moments and then Hughiefan spoke.
"Thanks for the drink, um you asked me to come over. Is everything ok?" Asked Hughiefan
"Vic and I are over, she went back to Phill and then pretended to not be with him and disappeared with Zack."
"Oh Ok, um.. So why did you call me here?" Enquired Hughiefan again
"Because I wanted to talk to you." Harry replied and moved closer to her. He put his hand down next to Hughefans "I feel so comfortable around you." He said and put his hand on hers.
Hughiefan's heart jumped as Harry's hand touched hers. But she pulled it away quickly.
"I .. Um.. your still married to Victoria. No matter what, you are still married to her." She said quietly
"I know, but I just need someone to hold me?" Harry cried and fell into Hughiefans lap crying. Hughiefan just sat there holding him.
Victoria had a restless night, and decided that it would be best if she tried to talk to Harry. So she apparated to Godrics Hollow. She walked into the front door and called to see if anyone was home. There was no reply. Victoria, knew Harry was home though so she walked into the lounge., where she saw Harry in a hugging embrace with Hughiefan.
"Oh my God!" Victoria yelled, nearly dropping Zack.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HUGGING THIS LITTLE HOOCHIE?!" Victoria screamed as she held Zack and watched her husband.
"I'LL DO WHATEVER I PLEASE WITH WHOEVER I WANT AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" Harry screamed back to Victoria as he rose up to face her.
"And to think I came back here to try to talk to you! Looks like you and little miss thing have already done enough talking, know what Harry?!" Victoria asked to Harry.
"WHAT?!" screamed Harry.
"We're through!" Victoria told him.
"We were already through!" Harry informed her then she showed him the hand with her wedding ring.
"Not yet we're not, as soon as I can get this ring off," Victoria said as she went to pull off her ring,"We're off." as she said this she started to pull of her ring except her ring wouldn't come off, it was stuck. Victoria looked from Harry to Hughiefan and back to Harry with a grin on her face, "Could you two give me a minute?" and she turned around and tried once more at taking it off. She tried again and it still wouldn't budge. Victoria tried a third time and the ring flew fast from her finger and smacked Harry right between the eyes. Victoria smirked, "I meant to do that on purpose, but hey this works too!".
Just as Victoria was going to disapparate, Phill apparated into the room.
As Harry stood up after picking up Victoria's Wedding Ring, he looked up and there behind Victoria stood Phil "GET OUT PHILL, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE" Harry roared.
"Excuse me?" screamed Victoria, "How Dare YOU order someone out of YOUR House, this IS OUR House Remember!" She Roared at Harry brandishing her wand.
"This WAS MY PARENTS HOUSE, Victoria, and now that you have made it quite plain that we are through, I suggest you LEAVE NOW! take your BOYFRIEND and Your SON and GET OUT!" Harry roared this so Loud, that he lost total control and sent Victoria, Zack and Phill from the House. He stormed over to the front door and yelled "FOR YOUR INFORMATION NOTHING HAD HAPPENED BETWEEN HUGHIEFAN AND I, SHE CAME OVER SO I COULD HAVE SOMEONE TO COMFORT ME IN A NON UHHUH HMM YOY-KNOW-WHAT WAY, UNLIKE THE FACT THAT THAT MAN" Harry ranted pointing his finger at a petrified Phill, who was lying on the ground "KIDNAPPED YOU AND YOUR SON, AND YOU JUST FORGAVE HIM LIKE THAT" Harry clicked his fingers "HOW DARE YOU TAKE A MORAL HIGH GROUND WITH ME, OVER SOMETHING THAT WAS A COMFORT, NOT YOUR STUPIDITY."
Victoria was about to respond when Harry slammed the door shut in her face.
Victoria stood on the street, fuming for a few minutes, and then dissolved onto the ground, in tears. Knowing she had just lost the man she loved more than anything in the world.
Harry stormed into the lounge room and fixed himself a drink. Hughiefan sat petrified on the lounge. Harry smiled at her and said "I am so sorry about that." He sighed and sat on the lounge too.
"Maybe I should go" replied Hughiefan and she stood up and headed towards the front door.
"No, I want to talk to you. Thats all just talk, I need someone to help me get through all this" Harry replied.
Hughiefan hesitated
"Please?" Harry added weakly.
"Ok" Said Hughiefan and she sat back down.
"This is perfect. My plan is working" Hughiefan thought to herself.
Harry and Hughiefan sat down and spoke for many hours.
After half an hour on the ground Victoria, looked up and said to Phil "I wish Lockyfan was here."
"Well, there may be a way to get her back" replied Phill
"Are you serious?!" Victoria asked with a smile on her face and looking up to Phill.
"Of course I am, now do you remember that old woman who was with me?" Phill asked her.
"Yeah, but I don't see what she has to do with any of this." said Victoria was now looking very confused.
"She brought me BACK, so maybe she could bring Lockyfan back as well!" Phill explained as he helped Victoria to her feet then he whistled, "Hop on!" his motorcycle had wheeled up to them and Victoria hopped on behind Phill.
"Phill, couldn't we just apparate because it would be a little difficult to hold onto you and Zack?" Victoria suggested.
"Alright, if you want to do it the easy way!" Phill laughed and took her hand then apparated the three of them outside the old woman's house.
Victoria and Phill walked up to the door and Phill knocked but there wasn't an answer, "That's odd, she's always here." said Phill.
Victoria put her hand on the doorknob and opened the door and Phill looked at her, "How did you do that?".
"I was just checking if it was unlocked," explained Victoria, "Let's go inside, what if she's hurt? I mean, she is an old woman after all." and they stepped inside the creaky home, "Alright, I'll go down this hall and you go down that hall!".
"Okay!" agreed Phill.
"And Phill," Victoria added.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you!" she said and kissed his cheek then started down the hall and Phill went down the other hall.
As Victoria continued walking down this hall she couldn't help but think about the time when she did this with Sweet16 and Harry. She laughed when she thought about how scared Sweet16 was and nearly cried when she thought about how brave Harry was. She thought, "I'm so sorry Harry, I wish I could take back what I did and the things that I said. I wish you could see how much you mean to me." as she was deep in thought a door to her right creaked open and she peeked inside. It was a small and dark room so she pulled out her wand and muttered, "Lumos!" then opened the door wider with her wand out as she looked over every item in the room. All of the shelves were filled things that might have belonged to Lockyfan and pictures of Lockyfan.
Victoria whispered, "Somebody is obsessed!" then she saw and empty space on one of the shelves. She shined her wand light on the space and from all the dust collected it looked as if there used to be some sort of necklace in this space. Victoria lifted a finger to wipe away some of the dust when her finger ran across something else that was hidden in the dust, a very tiny silver key.
"What in the world?" Victoria questioned as she examined the key.
"M
